Shirley Ables has been using her God-given talent to play the piano and her anointed voice to electrify audiences in her hometown of Washington, DC since the age of four. Over the years Ms. Ables has released several recordings, performed in concert for the President's cabinet and made appearances on radio and television, receiving rave reviews in the local, national and international media. She is a 1992 and1993 "Wammie" award winner and a 2003 Gospel Music Hall of Fame inductee. In recognition of her Hall of Fame induction, a flag was flown in her honor over the U.S. Capitol on October 7, 2003.
Ms. Ables has performed both nationally and internationally, including Hawaii, London, England and Barbados, West Indies. She has also participated in such great revivals and crusades as Dr. Billy Graham's "Youth Quake" and Evangelist Shirley Caesar's "Outreach Crusades". Shirley Caesar introduced Ms. Ables' debut album "Shirley Caesar Presents Shirley Ables, MY JESUS".
In obedience to God's command to use all of her gifts, Ms. Ables organized the Shirley Ables Music Ministry where students learn piano and other instruments, sight reading and voice. Students not only learn music, but also the word of God as Ms. Ables ministers to the entire person. Her students range in age from three to adult and many begin playing for area churches when they are as young as six. Some Music Ministry students have become great preachers, musicians, singers, actors, actresses and teachers
Ms. Ables travels with her group The Joy Gospel Singers, consisting of Patricia Ables, Sanada McFall, Jeanette Harrison and her musicians, who are graduates of the Shirley Ables Music Ministry. Her latest recording "Just Keep On Prayin" exemplifies the message Ms Ables tries to deliver as she spreads the Good News through song.
Ms Ables always says, "To the glory of God I give my heart, my soul, my mind and my life, with God's blessing and your prayers, our ministry will touch and deliver souls from the yoke of bondage."
